How 25 famous cartoon animals compare to their real-life counterparts

Artists tend to take some creative liberties when they developed some of our favorite animated animal characters.

But over the years, Arthur lost many of those classic aardvark features. Creator Marc Brown explained to AV Club,"It wasn't anything I was consciously doing. I just drew him and the more I got to know him … His nose got smaller and smaller."Despite his name and only having six tentacles, Squidward Tentacles from"SpongeBob Squarepants" is an octopus.

The real-life bird of the same name is a bit smaller than the cartoon and they typically have brown and white feathers, unlike their blue and purple cartoon kin. House cats don't usually have enough energy for sword fighting all day. They sleep an average of 15 hours each day. However, Sven doesn't really act like a reindeer. It would be unusual to see a reindeer separated from its herd and they don't tend to have dog-like personalities.20th Century Fox; RT Images/Shutterstock

In the wild, European rabbits tend to be fairly social animals, a trait Judy also shares, and they are known for being territorial, which could explain Judy's passion for protecting Zootopia.DreamWorks; Getty Pascal from"Tangled" was originally supposed to look more realistic, but the animators went for entertainment value over authenticity.Rapunzel's sassy but loyal sidekick most closely resembles the veiled chameleon breed. Pascal has the ability to change into different vibrant colors, like actual chameleons, and he also has the spiky head and swirly tail of his real-life counterpart. But that's about as far as their physical similarities go.

Llamas are said to be gentle, shy, and friendly, which is a bit ironic seeing as Kuzco is known for being arrogant and ruthless. However, it is fitting that the protagonist learns how to be a better emperor, friend, and all-around person throughout his journey as a llama.DreamWorks; GUDKOV ANDREY/Shutterstock

Disney's flying elephant, Dumbo, is said to be based on a real African bush elephant named Jumbo born in 1860. However, the real elephant only inspired Dumbo's life story, not his physical features or skill of flying.
